...I've lived here for almost two years and if I could go back in time, I would choose to live elsewhere. The Pros: Very convenient with regards to transportation, obtaining food, and exercise. The gym is very well-equipped, but closes early on weekends, so this can be inconvenient for some. The security staff is very friendly and responsive. The Cons: (1) Very loud. This is in part because of location (near Gardiner + Scotiabank Arena) and in part because this building fosters many AirBnB units. Often, the lobby feels like a hotel due to the number of young people with suitcases walking in and out. You also frequently hear young people screaming on balconies, and parties are not unusual or infrequent. (2) Management is very unresponsive and rude. (3) Elevators frequently break down, and once took 4 months to fix. (4) The building had a telecom company advertising in front of both main and 2nd floor elevators where solicitors would try to tell you about their latest deal every time you walked in and out of your apartment. When complaining about this, the response I got was that "well 'the board' already decided it's what we're gonna do". Overall, it's a very busy, loud building whose high rent is not justified...

We have been living at building 88 for almost a year now. The only complaint I have is regarding the management and security staff.

Many have stated that a change in management staff is required. The staff does seem to bring in a lot of negative energy,

I have personally had issues with receiving parcels from Canada Post and upon following up I have found out that the front desk only accept certain sizes of packages. After following up with Canada Post I have found out that their delivery staff have been turned away all sizes of packages. After discussing this matter with a few other residents I have discovered that many have the same issue and same feedback. The security staff is VERY dishonest and deceitful.

Furthermore, the elevators see, to be constantly down. Sometimes a few elevators at one time. This is unacceptable! There should be action taken by Menkes Developement to quickly resolve these matters.

On the positive side the 2nd floor direct access to the PATH is great! especially for those long cold winter days. Finding a parking spot is very difficult as there are not a lot of spots available most of the time.
